Free oil change for 500 motorists at Shell #LoveMyRide festival

Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd treated 500 lucky motorists each with a free oil change and full tank of petrol at the Shell #LoveMyRide festival held at the MATRADE Exhibition and Convention Centre, Kuala Lumpur, from 13 to 14 June. The event also created a new Malaysia Book of Records entry for ‘most number of cars in a lubricant changing event’ with 378 vehicles serviced on the first today.

Applications to participate in the event were received online at www.lovemyride.com.my, with 500 out of 1,000 cars selected to receive what was described as an ‘engine rejuvenation package’ worth RM600. Each selected car had complete oil changes using Shell Helix Ultra with PurePlus Technology 5W-40 fully synthetic oil and topped with a full tank of Shell V-Power Racing fuel.

Facilitating the oil changes were 100 student mechanics from Despark College and Shell Helix branded workshops. After managing to service 378 cars on the first day, the team completed its target of 500 vehicles by 3:17pm on the second day.

Whilst waiting to have their oils changed, visitors were able to pass time in a carnival atmosphere that included activities such as test drives of the latest BMW and Mazda vehicles, F1 simulator, a choice of food from over 50 of KL’s top food trucks and gastronomic cafes, and live performances from local artistes such as Reza Salleh, IamNEETA, Diandra Arjunaidi and Talitha Tan.
